In Canada, education is seen as the most desirable route to earning a decent living and to enhancing personal growth and happiness.
Educated people not only earn higher incomes but also contribute disproportionally to business innovation, productivity, and national economic performance.
There is a strong and direct relationship between investments in education, educational attainment, and economic growth.
A 2003 multi-country study from the European Commission found that if the national average educational attainment level is increased by a single year,
aggregate productivity increases by 6.2 per cent right away, and by a further 3.1 per cent in the long run.
Recent evidence also suggests that educated people make decisions that lead to healthier and longer lives. Education drives success.
